o0o It’s different being away from home and being in someone elses home. It’s a cross between a mini vacation and at times not quite knowing what to do with myself – then realising that I don’t actually have to BE doing anything with myself! The downside though is… Continue reading »

o0o Well the poor counsellor probably needed a bex and a lie-down after she had finished her first hour with me the other day! It was pretty much like shaking up a coke bottle then flipping off the lid. A whole damn lot of built-up stuff just came spewing forth… Continue reading »

about me

I'm an Australian Wife and Mother in my 50s; I am a Writer, an avid reader, a Slow Living enthusiast, an advocate for living your best Life.
Oh - and I'm a coffee junkie!!

At the moment, I work outside of our home as a Regulated Nurse / Quality Manager and whilst I have mostly enjoyed my work for the past almost 10 years, I have now come to a time in my Life when there are more years behind me than in front of me – and I want my world to slow down a bit, to be more enjoyable, and definitely more meaningful for me and my Love…so I'm in the process of crafting my way to a more intentional, soul-satisfying and simpler Life.
